大学英语四级语法精要：动词

动词

只能用动名词作宾语的动词: suggest, finish, avoid, stop, can’t help, mind, admit, enjoy, leave off, require, postpone, put off, delay, practise, fancy, excuse, pardon, advise, consider, deny, endure, escape, miss

既可用动名词, 也可用不定式作宾语的动词: love, like, hate, dislike, begin, start, continue, intend, attempt, can’t bear, propose, want, need, remember, forget, regret, neglect, try, deserve, can’t afford等.

有时两种结构之间意义差别不大, 有时却有不同的意思. 在remember, regret, want, try等词后差别是比较明显的.
i remember seeing her once somewhere.
i must remember to take my notebooks with me.

i regret not having accepted your advice.
i regret to say i haven’t given you enough help.

she doesn’t want (need) to come.
the house wants (needs) cleaning.

we must try to get everything done in time.
let’s try doing the work some other way.

悬垂修饰: 分词作状语时, 表示的必须是主语的一个动作或状态.

walking through the park, we saw a lot of flowers. (walking是we的动作, 正确)
walking through the park, the flowers looked very beautiful. (错误)

standing on the tower, we could see the whole city. (正确)
standing on the tower, the whole village could be seen. (错误)
